“The winds and global finance both shape our daily lives but are invisible.
I wanted to give them a form— that of this desert.

Stock prices control fans in wind tunnels which blow the sand.

Cameras in the sand offer a perspective as though we are looking at the horizon.

The desert landscape evolves as the markets change and time goes on.

It’s a sunset scene, the end of the day and perhaps the end of history.

The question is— what kind of world is Capitalism producing for us?”
